Definitely a heck yes if it turns out anything like this: http://motonetworks.com/restomod-katana-tribute-suzukis-legend-deserves/

My favorite mods are stripping parts from the bike that won't be used. With that said, my cb400f is going to be kickstart only. What can I get rid of mechanically and electrically?

3 weeks for a seat!! I got mine done in 3 hours

No. I've found that gas will stain it so I put a few layers of clear on it.

Thanks I used plati-dip. I didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped the first time around so I peeled it off, sanded the tank, and reapplied. Came out really nice the second time. There are a few dents in the tank so during the winter I'm going to be faced with a tough decision. Do I want to do a...

Right now I'm leaning towards both a hoop (4" long 2" upward kick) and white fender. I have a round taillight that I would mount right above the top of the hoop. If I only go with a fender, I would just mount the headlight on it.

Maybe I don't need to redo the seat. Just a hoop or a fender to complete the backend. Would love to hear others thoughts/opinions/suggestions...

Made a seat pan. Lot of fiberglass in this picture with the boards... Got the seat upholstered, looks fantastic. Painted the headlight, bracket, and side covers. Covers are temporary, going to put a faux oil tank under there or maybe an ammo case or something. Lots of frame touch up still...

I believe these were stock on the early cb350s but was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a set that would fit my 400f. Even if they're non-functional (i.e. for looks). If that's not possible, can I swap out my forks my some of these and would there be any downside to that?

Tank is done being painted. Now just need the decals to arrive Headlight came this week. Mocked it up on the bike. Now going to paint black and put in new LED idiot lights. May possible install the ignition in the headlight bucket.

Plasti-dipped the tank matte white but not totally happy with the result. Going to peel it off, sand the tank and paint instead. The headlight bucket that I ordered is a tad too small for the headlight ring. F#@k!!

I found the size buried underneath rust/corrosion rear - 185 x 18 front 160 x 18 Assume that translates into 1.85 & 1.60 which would mean they are stock rim size. Correct? So I'm going to order some new rims & tires. This is what I have in mind. rear: 2.15x 18 with 120/90 tire front...

Hallelujah, about time we get a thoughtful discussion going with HELPFUL answers. Thank you guys. Seriously! Thank you! Crazypj - I don't mind the work/expense. How can I measure the current rims? There are no markings or stampings anywhere on the outside that indicates size. I am starting to...

No. Never once did I ask how the bike would handle or perform. I simply asked what size wheel or tires I could fit for a very specific build. I even stated this bike is not for go. I already have bikes for when I want to go fast or carve canyons. Not mad. Just annoyed that some people in this...

How about you build your bikes the way you want and I'll build my bikes the way I want. Besides, I don't want to go fast, that way I won't be able to see my reflection in the windows when I drive past.

Already under way. Current status: Up Next: Finish carbs tune Plasti-dip tank matte white Shave seat & recover with brown Carmel grips Velocity Stacks New (bigger) tires front & rear New headlight bucket, turn signals, tail light Front fender delete New battery & hide under seat

Cool, I will do that. Anyhow, I'm going to try a 110 or maybe a 120 and go from there. Thanks for you help.

I don't know, something seems off. This tire looks tiny. No way that's too big for the stock rim. This pics shows a comparison against the 130 on my Thrux

I don't know. If there's one thing I've learned over the years from tuning my cars & bikes it's that stock vehicles are NEVER optimally tuned when it comes to engine breathing. Intake/exhaust is usually the first place I look for extra HP... including the ///M cars I've owned. Any guesses why...
